The river runs clear, the hill glows bright,
The Qingming Festival is a day of sorrow and white.
The sun shines dimly, the rain falls light,
Mourning for the dead, my heart is heavy with plight.
Tombsweepers trudge on the green hillsides,
Lamenting the departed, their grief abides.
In the boundless sky, the birds chirp and glide,
But who can hear, the sorrow deep inside?
The river breeze carries the scent of flowers,
Over the tombs, in the springtime showers.
A lonely wild goose southward flies,
Its mournful cry, echoes in the skies.
O'er the fleeting years, the world changes fast,
But love for the departed, will forever last.
On this Qingming day, we honor the past,
Treasuring memories, to the very last.
